ASHLAND – The Firelands Electric Cooperative People’s Fund, New London, Ohio has approved a grant in the amount of $1,319.76 to Hospice of North Central Ohio (HNCO) to fund the purchase of a Personal Emergency Response System. This alert system, which is recommended by Women's Health and Wearsafe, is nationally recognized for the protection of people with their safety devices. HNCO will issue these devices to frontline caregivers and other personnel who make in-home visits to hospice and palliative care patients.
“Gifts and grants to HNCO have and continue to enhance patient care,” Ralph Tomassi, HNCO chief development officer, said. “Firelands People’s Fund continues to respond to the needs of their members through philanthropic support.”
The mission of Firelands Electric Cooperative People’s Fund is the accumulation of funds for charitable purposes in the Firelands Rural Electric service area. The program receives its funding from members who allow their bills to be rounded up each month to the next dollar amount. These funds are placed in a charitable trust and then distributed quarterly to qualified charitable organizations.
